We rented a five person cabin for a weekend. This was a win-win for us, we had the privacy of a cozy, but we'll proportion cabin with amazing views of the ocean and the convenience of a lodge. We could spend time exploring the local beaches, including Ruby beach, tree of life and the town of Forks. Or cozy up in the cabin, or main room in the lodge. Feeling a little chill? No worries if you have a stove in your cabin there is wood to light a fire and take the chill away, while the waves lul you to sleep. Don't feel like cooking, no problem they have a great restaurant with 3 meals a day available. I would highly recommend their Marionberry French toast, amazing.
Staying for 2 nights. Very comfy bed and good size room. Good size fridge and freezer! Plus microwave. Plus full size soap, shampoo, conditioner. Not just like the one time squeeze bottles. It is unexpected for national park lodge. Plenty and free parking. Staffs are friendly. I only wish that they fix the beach access stairs soon, it would be perfect if we can walk to the beach just right behind the room.
Great place to stay, there was a little mix up with Expedia and they were very accommodating. The location was absolutely beautiful! Their stairs washed away so no beach access but that isn’t a fault of theirs. The ocean can be unpredictable & closest beach access is less than a mile away.
A two-night stay February 2025. The staff were great; helpful and courteous. The cabin was clean. The beds comfortable. The rates were reasonable. The weather was cooperative. A repeated scratching noise in the middle of the night. A mouse had got itself into the trash can and couldn't get out. Putting the recycle can on top of the trash can trapped the mouse, and putting the whole thing outside allowed sleep to resume. The staff offered a free breakfast as compensation. No idea what the mouse got as compensation. Staff came and removed everything and brought new trash and recycle cans. Disappointingly bad lighting in the cabin. It was impossible to read a book or see what was being done in the kitchen area. Cell phone flashlights had to be used to prepare food. Dish soap was provided, but nothing to scrub with. Odd. The shower was a puzzle. It took a while to determine that barely turning the shower on was when the hot water came out (as opposed to turning the knob as far as possible away from the "off" position), and it was very hot water but it came out as a mist, so by the time it hit a person's body it was lukewarm. The heater could not be turned off, and it made a racket all night. We were very disappointed to learn, after we checked in, that there was no access to the beach from the lodge property. In order to go get on a beach, a drive was necessary. We agreed that we will not return.
We stayed in the main lodge for one night. We arrived after dark in December and left before the light came out so we really didn't get to see the grounds very much. We were the only ones staying in the main lodge that night but others were staying in the cabins. Our room was nice It did not have a microwave or a mini fridge which is not too uncommon for national park lodges. Nor did it have a TV, but once again that's not too uncommon. We had to walk up a flight of stairs, no elevator available, to get to our room which was not a big deal. Being the only ones in the whole building it was extremely quiet. We stopped down in the dining area for dinner, I ordered the chicken breast and my travel partner ordered a mushroom dish. I really wasn't expecting much being was off season and how dead the place was, although there were other customers. However, they exceeded my expectations. My chicken was moist and well seasoned along with the vegetables. The service was fantastic. We left happy in well-fed to return to our room. For beverages I had a soda while my travel partner had a barry cocktail of some sort, They had some very strong pours there. My travel partner thought it was a little too strong for them. All in all we had a great experience and would stay again.
